Commentary Science is the process by which we learn about the workings of material reality. Though modern innovations—built on the fruits of science—would look like magic to people living only decades ago, they result from the time-tested scientific method. Contrary perhaps to media portrayals of science, the scientific method depends not on the existence of…

A Short History of Long COVID
Commentary As the reality of the steeply age-stratified and comorbidity-amplified disease continued to frustrate the worldview of many COVID maximizers, there was a popular drumbeat to expand the COVID threat beyond cases and deaths, and the most mysterious, terror-inducing phenomenon that could be exploited was Long COVID. Long COVID isn’t a single phenomenon, but rather…
BioNTech’s 30 Billion Reasons
Commentary The real winner in the COVID-19 vaccine sweepstakes is the German company BioNTech, not Pfizer. Much has been made of Pfizer reaching the extraordinary mark of $100 billion in revenues in 2022, in large part undoubtedly thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and its famous COVID-19 “vaccine.” Indeed, Pfizer’s year-end earnings report shows that COVID-19 vaccine sales alone account…

Commentary The Left has intentionally chosen emotional weapons to achieve its open-borders agenda—asylum, unaccompanied alien children, “humanitarian parole,” and nongovernmental organizations, particularly faith-based groups. The Left made the correct calculation that the Right would be too afraid to criticize left-wing groups’ use of such weapons, let alone shut down the Left’s abuse of them. It’s…
Left’s Scheme to Bludgeon Supreme Court Exposed at Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing
Commentary The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing Tuesday on “Supreme Court Ethics Reform.” The title implies that Supreme Court ethics need reform and that Congress can do the reforming. The hearing failed to make that case. Everyone agrees on the critical importance of public confidence in the judiciary’s impartiality and integrity, and that that confidence is…
The Lack of Critical Thinking on Critical Minerals Mining Threatens Our Future
Commentary Last month, President Biden began his tour of America’s electric vehicle supply chain, which brought him to Minnesota. While here, he talked about those who would love to “cede [the] clean energy future to China” and “make us dependent on overseas supply chains … and weaken energy security”—a curious statement provided our current EV…
If Investors Almost Never Know, Why Would Fed Officials Ever Know?
Commentary On April 13, CNN’s business site blasted out the headline “banking is sound.” Who uttered those words? No less than Lael Brainard, former vice chair of the Federal Reserve and presently director of President Biden’s National Economic Council (NEC). CNN flattered Brainard. Really, what else was she going to say? The above question isn’t a trick one, and…

Commentary On Tuesday last week, the European Commission announced its first list of designated Very Large Online Platforms—or VLOPs—that will be subject to “content moderation” requirements and obligations to combat “disinformation” under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). As VLOPs, the designated services will be required “to assess and mitigate their systemic risks and to provide…
Religious Freedom Commission Calls Out Violations in Iran, China, Elsewhere
Commentary It’s an image of contrasts, courage, and confrontation: A faceless Iranian woman protester holds Catholic rosary beads against the backdrop of a poster featuring Mahsa Amini, a young woman who died last year while being held by the country’s morality police. Her alleged crime: standing up to the country’s theocratic regime by violating laws…
The New Ugly Americans
Commentary The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald’s, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors. But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down. The U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed in August 2021 amid the greatest American military humiliation in…
